It also helps that all of the Dave Filoni animated stuff was retained, but I really don't want to derail this thread with too much Star Wars stuff.
Portable Ops is such an odd entry. I played through it once - struggled really - and never got far on attempts to replay it before giving up. No matter how I set up the controls, despite unlocking the frame rate to 60 via emulation, I just couldn't find any way to ever interact with the gameplay that felt natural. It's weird that there's voice acting for some parts but not others. I think stuff was cut for disc space / battery consumption issues? At least one text-only line was voiced in one of the trailers. If there's more, it'd be really cool if they could reinstate such audio for a remaster. Of course, the "Showtime" version of the MGS theme that was used in the trailers would be nice to have back, but at this point we're lucky they didn't retroactively remove it from older games let alone Delta.
